Review Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader (GameCube)
A force to be reckoned with

That's not to say that it's the best game that's ever been based on the franchise, but rather, it's the best at capturing the pure essence and magic of it. Developed by Factor 5 in collaboration with LucasArts, it's a technical...

I was blown away by the graphics back in '01. Solid levels, and a lot of fun.
Next to starfox this is my favorite flying game. Please make a Wii U or 3DS sequel or remake.
An all time great
I wish they would release an HD version of this for the Wii U.
